Scripture Readings: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, John 11:20-17
A man once asked his wife, “What would you like for your birthday?” She answered, “I’d like to be ten again.”
On the morning of her birthday – he got her up early and took her to an amusement park, put her on all the rides, The Death Slide, the Screaming Loop… everything there was, she had a go. They ate all the fried heart-burn-causing foods that are at amusement parks. She staggered out of the park a few hours later – her head reeling and stomach upside down. He then took her to McDonalds and got her a Happy Meal.
Went to the theater to see a special showing of Star Wars – where they again feasted on popcorn, cola and sweets.
When she finally got home she collapsed into bed, utterly exhausted and feeling horrible from all the food. Her husband leaned over and asked, “So, what was it like to be ten again?”
With only one eye opened and groaning she replied, “I meant the dress size.”
